Scarlet & Violet

Vic Brotherson’s charming shop in Kensal Rise has been a go-to for London stylists and wedding planners ever since it opened in 2006. For years a well-kept secret, this is now one of the most in-demand florists in town: No one does wild, romantic arrangements quite like the team at Scarlet, who (for the most part) use English grown flowers, giving their work a particularly seasonal appeal. The shop itself is worth the trek to see, not only for the burst of blooms but for their trademark selection of quirky and retro vases and containers.
